Victoria Beckham's sweet message to Mel B as she's forced to miss wedding
Victoria Beckham shared a sweet message with former bandmate Mel B as the Spice Girls icon gets ready to tie the knot. Over 30 years on from the two meeting and becoming part of the iconic group, they still share a special bond.
And despite Posh not being at her pal's special day, she has shared a touching message in the build-up. She took to her Instagram Stories to share a sweet tribute ahead of the ceremony.
Posting a photograph of her and Melanie together at a recent event, Victoria sent her well-wishes. IN the caption she gushed: "Sending love to you @officialmelb! @rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx"
It comes as Melanie and Rory prepare to say "I do" in one of the most iconic landmarks in the UK, St Paul's Cathedral in London. They will follow in the footsteps of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and now King Charles, who also tied the knot at the prestigious location.
But Victoria won't be there to watch the pair exchange vows. Neither will former bandmate Geri Halliwell, although Emma Bunton is thought to be on the guest list.
Victoria and Geri's no-show is in no way a snub to the singer. Instead, they said it's solely due to busy schedules, which we exclusively revealed earlier this week.
A source close to the band told the Mirror: "There's no snub, the girls are all on friendly terms with one another, but it's no secret that Geri is busy with Christian at Formula One and Victoria is extremely busy with her fashion brand."
It's thought Victoria's plans will see her on a project in another country. Melanie C, known as Sporty Spice, meanwhile, is currently on tour and will be performing in Rødovre, eastern Denmark.
The wedding follows Melanie's lavish hen do in Tunisia recently. She was joined by some of her closest friends, beloved mum Andrea, sister Danielle and her eldest daughter, Pheonix.
For the occasion, she dressed in her iconic leopard print bikini and described the event as her "Zen party." And speaking about her big day, she recently told Women's Wear Daily: "This will be a very formal, English wedding where I want to feel regal and very proper.
"All the ladies will wear hats or fascinators. Then, I'm having a second ceremony abroad, which will be more informal, sexy and beautiful."
Mel family friend Rory, who is 13 years her junior, have known each other for years. He has worked as her hairstylist and it's thought the duo first became romantically attached in 2018. He later proposed to her in 2022.

This evening's performance in Cardiff represents more than a decade since the Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, shared a stage together. The group made their entrance to 'F**king in the Bushes' before launching into their opening number 'Hello'. The packed venue erupted in applause to welcome back the legendary band. Among those in attendance were EastEnders favourite Danny Dyer and Line Of Duty star Vicky McClure. Television presenter Vernon Kay was also photographed outside the Principality Stadium. Liam addressed the enthusiastic crowd, saying: "Hey, beautiful people, it's been too long," with notable attendees including Glastonbury founder Emily Eavis, Dominic Mohan, and Andy Goldstein.

The Mirror can exclusively confirm that Meg Mathews - Noel's former spouse - was also present at the concert. Their daughter Anais was likewise spotted at the venue. Article continues below Earlier in the day, Meg posted several photographs of herself with Noel, captioning them: "TODAY IS THE DAY 4th July 2025 Finally here ....OASIS REUNION TOUR, Britpop was a British music and cultural movement that peaked in the mid-1990s, characterized by a revival of British guitar pop from the 1960s and 1970s, in contrast to American grunge. "It was not just a genre, but a reactionary and patriotic cultural response, celebrating British identity, working-class roots, and everyday life. To everyone who's there when they walk on the stage at 8.15pm will be a piece of history." Reflecting on the photograph, she continued: "That night was a lot of fun can't remember what after party gig it was .. back then there was always one which I was in charge of organising through @creationrecords money and fun had no limit back then."

Speaking to the Irish Mirror in 2020, Meg revealed she previously suffered from severe PTSD. She explained: "I came through the marriage. Everything was public. At the end of the day I did not have the cog or the PR world that that person (Noel) had. "I was just the ex-wife. I had nobody. I didn't know what to do. I didn't have a press agent, wasn't famous, I just had a daughter. I used to get terrible PTSD. In 1997 I was the third most written about woman. It was Lady Diana, The Spice Girls and me." Article continues below For supporters still hoping to secure last-minute passes to Oasis' comeback performances, the group are preparing to make available a handful of remaining tickets. According to their announcement: "As the shows are getting closer, Oasis promoters may be able to release a very limited number of additional tickets for sale once final sight lines are checked and the production is fine tuned. These final production releases will happen over the coming days."

Noel Gallagher's ex Meg Mathews walks out of Oasis gig before painful song
EXCLUSIVE: Noel Gallagher's ex Meg Mathews cheered him on from the audience during his Oasis comeback gig in Cardiff, but she left early - before one of the band's more painful songs Meg Mathews left Oasis' Cardiff gig early this evening - as they returned for a special and heartbreaking song. Meg had been on hand to cheer on her ex-husband, Noel Gallagher, on the first night of the tour. She was spotted arriving today, with a source telling the Mirror: "After posting about her ex-husband for weeks, Meg Mathews had a prime seat for watching the band. She was in great spirits before the set, watching Richard Ashcroft with pals." However, she left before the encore and was seen departing the show before the band came back to sing some of their biggest songs including Don't Look Back In Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova. Wonderwall may be a sore subject for Meg, as Noel had originally claimed he'd written it on a rainy Tuesday night for his girlfriend. He said back in 1996: "It's about my girlfriend, Meg Mathews. She had a company which folded and she was feeling a bit sorry for herself. The sentiment is that there was no point in her feeling down, she has to sort my life out for me because I'm in bits had the time." However, in 2002, Noel did a complete U-turn and insisted Wonderwall actually had nothing to do with Meg. He said: "The meaning of that song was taken away from me by the media who jumped on it, and how do you tell your missus it's not about her once she's read it is? It's a song about an imaginary friend who's gonna come and save you from yourself." Meg even commented about the backtrack. In 2005, she said: "All of a sudden, when I was getting divorced, he said it wasn't about me, so I don't really understand." It comes just days after Meg was forced to deny that she and Noel had decided to give their relationship another go. She had been sharing throwback snaps on social media, prompting fans to believe that they were back together following the breakdown of Noel's second marriage. Alongside the pics, fans have been desperate to see them reunite. One wrote in the comments: "Please tell us you are back together again," whilst another added: "So nice to see you still love and support your ex. So healthy to have that bond. Especially when you have a beautiful daughter together." A third shared: "Meg these pics are the best!! You'll always have a bond, you share an amazing child who is a credit to you both," with a fourth writing: "The best era, and the best couple, wish you two got back together." But Meg said it was a firm "no" when asked if she and Noel were an item again. Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp!

The much-anticipated reunion tour commenced this evening at the Welsh stadium, but it appears not all attendees were thrilled. When Liam queried the audience, "Anybody here from Manchester? Anyone here from Burn-aaage?" he was greeted with a barrage of boos. Nonetheless, the lead singer didn't let this dampen his spirits and carried on with the show. Unfazed by the jeers, he rattled his tambourine and dove into the next track. The tour follows the announcement last year by the Gallagher brothers that they would reunite for performances. To hype up their return, they released a video where Liam is heard proclaiming: "When we both come together, you have greatness." Noel then adds: "I know my brother better than anybody else. This is it, this is happening.", reports the Mirror.
